Give a higher bursary to areas that are more deprived.

Petition Details

For some students £60/£100 over 12 weeks to cover travelling cost and lunch, is simply not enough.

Additional Information

New schools are funded for bursaries on the assumption that 36% of students will be eligible, this is the national average. A higher level of deprivation area such as Newham will have a higher percentage that will need support whereas a Sixth from/College/Universities in an affluent area will have hardly any that need support. So, therefore, educational facilities in deprived areas must spread a small amount amongst many students, while educational institutions in affluent areas have more money than they need, which is not fair they should fund based on local needs, not the national average and in special cases fund specific students a lot more.
